50 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700 Series Media Server
Configuring second media server
The procedures for this installation are the same as for configuring the first media server.
Repeat tasks Clearing the ARP cache on the laptop
on page 38 through Disconnecting from the
media server on page 49 for the second media server.
Remastering the hard drive
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: This task is not part of the ordinary configuration process. It erases all information
on the drive. Normally, for a new installation, the media server is shipped with a
blank hard drive. Do not perform this task unless the hard drive has a
Communication Manager software release installed on it.
Note:
Note: This step upgrades the server, loading the RP software onto the backup partition.
The currently running release remains on the other partition, just as it always
does during an upgrade.
1. Insert the CD containing the software into the CD-ROM drive on the media server and close
the tray.
2. Under Server Configuration and Upgrades, click Install New Software Release.
3. Select from the menu the file from the CD (S8700-00.0-0000.0). Click Continue to
complete the software installation.
On the page asking about installing the license file, select either statement and click
Continue. The license file is replaced later in the upgrade process.
On the page asking about installing the Avaya authentication files, select Do not update
authentication information and click Continue.
4. Select Reboot when you get to that Web page.
After the system reboots, which takes about 3 minutes, the RP software redirects the
system to boot from the CD-ROM drive. This is the same software that would have loaded if
the CD were bootable. Note that no telephony support is provided by this software. Its only
purpose is to reformat the hard drive and install a clean copy of the Avaya Communication
Manager server software.
5. Close the browser.
